The moon does have gravity, it is just a fraction of what it is on Earth. Astronauts on the moon have found that the low gravity makes it difficult to walk. It is easier to move by jumping.

Can you use hydroelectricity on the moon?
Seriously? No, you can't use hydroelectricity on the moon, as it's would become extremely impractical due to the lack of an atmosphere, and a lower level of gravity. Also laws were created to prevent anyone owning a part of the moon/ building on it.
How much would a 50 pound box weigh in the moon?
A 50-pound would approximately weigh 8.5 pounds on the moon. Moon's gravity is approximately 1/6 of the earth's gravity.
When will the moon leave earths gravity?
The moon will probably never leave the influence of the Earth's gravity completely. This is because although the moon is slowly moving away from the Earth, it only moves about 4 centimeters a year. Considering that theoretically the Earth's gravity reaches out indefinately, it would be impossible for the moon to escape the Earth's gravity completely, so the moon will never leave the Earth's gravity.
What was the reason when the moon move if force of gravity suddenly disappeared and moon move if inertia suddenly disappeared?
If gravity suddenly disappeared, the moon would fly out into space in a straight line. If the moon suddenly stopped moving it would fall straight into Earth.
Why would you weigh more on mt Everest than you would ay a low elevation on the moon?
Because Earth's gravity is much stronger than the Moon's, which means no matter where you are on Earth, gravity will pull you down harder than it would anywhere on the Moon.
Can you do summer salts on the moon?
well it would difficult to the lack of gravity but under some instances you could do a summer salt on the moon.
Is there enough gravity on the moon for people to breathe?
Breathing is not dependent on gravity or the lack thereof.
Why lack of atmosphere around the moon?
The moon's gravity is too weak to hold on to an atmosphere.
How much would a Ford Mustang weigh on the moon?
Gravity on the moon is 16.7% or 1/6 the gravity on Earth. Multiply the weight of the Mustang by 0.167 to get the weight on the moon. Unfortunately once you get your Mustang to the moon, you won't be able to drive it due to the lack of air.
What is the relationship between the moon and surface gravity lack of atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
What is the relationship between the moon surface gravity lack of atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
Is the Moon's gravity stronger on it's dark side?
Yes, because the lack of photons affects the relative strength of gravity.
What would happen if you were on the moon?
If you were on the moon your weight would lower, as there is no gravity.
What is the gravity of the moon with respect to that of the earth?
the moon has less gravity because if you walk on the moon you would bounce not properly walk.
How would running be affected by the difference in the atmosphere and gravity of the Earth and the moon?
Because of the lack of atmosphere on the moon, you could only run on the moon in a space suit that allows you to breathe. That is cumbersome. A slight advantage results from the lack of air resistance. The gravity on the moon is only about one sixth that of Earth, which would allow you to make enormous leaps that you would not be able to make on Earth (you would also fall much more slowly, so those leaps would not necessarily enable you to progress faster). We do not really have enough experience with this to say exactly how fast you could run on the moon.
What else either than rock did Neil Armstrong find in the moon?
a distinct lack of gravity
How deep would you have to drill into the moon to match earths gravity?
You could never match earth's gravity on the moon. You could not increase the amount of gravity on the moon by drilling.
